'''Zapple''' is a lightning spell introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]''. It is a mid-tier of the Lightning spell family between [[Zap]], [[Kazap]], and [[Kazapple]].

 

The Japanese spell ''Raidein'' was previously localized as ''[[Zap]]'' for the English adaptations of the series, until the localization of ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]'' in 2007, which featured a lightning spell weaker than Raidein. This spell, ''Dein'', is akin to [[Sizz]] and [[Crack]] in terms of power and how early a character learns it in an adventure, bumping Raidein up to being a mid-tier spell. Because the English word [[Zap]] cannot be simplified as it's Eastern equivalent was, the localization department instead opted to have the word Zapple refer to Raidein in any game in which Dein is present.

 

For older titles that were localized after the introduction of Dein, such as {{Dragon Quest VI}},  [[Zap]] continues to be used for Raidein to adhere to the three-stage naming convention for spells seen in [[Square Enix]]'s translation process as there is no intermediate spell to add the "-le" suffix to between [[Zap]] and [[Kazap]]. An exception is ''[[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]]'', where ''Raidein'' is translated as "Zapple" in the manga and its anime adaptation, but "Zap" in spinoff media (which extends to derived techniques like [[Raidein Strash]]).

The {{Hero 11}} can learn Zapple for 12 skill points by steeling himself with the {{Luminary}} panel in his character builder after it has been expanded in the second act. It is a hidden panel, requiring at least four of the surrounding skills to be learned first. It costs 22 {{MP}} to cast and will deal 146~166 damage to a group of enemies, with the maximum damage hitting for 314~344 at 244 magical might.

Zapple has the same aspects as in the previous two ''Monsters'' games.

 

Zapple costs 13 MP and is learned through the [[Just Ruler]], [[Zap Afficionado]], and [[Zap Virtuoso]] talents. It has a base power of 35 and will deal an average of 165 damage at 499 wisdom.

 

Zapple is the second tier spell of both [[Luceus]] and [[Aurora]] and can be learned by investing 10 skill points. By charging up their [[Zap]] spell for a short time, they can cast Zapple for 14 {{MP}}, which summons lightning bolts to strike down enemies in front of them. As the two level up more, they will be able to upgrade the spell and learn [[Kazap]]. Also, like all lightning spells and techniques, Zapple can short circuit {{MFamilies}}s from the [[machine family]].

 

Zapple sends out a bolt of lightning that can damage a single enemy multiple times if positioned correctly, and costs 11 {{MP}} to cast. It is learned by [[fiery dragling]]s, [[jade slime]]s, [[red giant]]s, [[she-slime]]s, and [[Elys]].

 

Zapple can be learned naturally by [[ewwnicorn]] at level 22, [[silvapithecus]] at level 24, [[raving lunatick]] at level 36, and [[Lime slime]] at level 42. It costs 16 {{MP}} to use, has a range of three squares away from the user, and deals moderate [[Zap]]-type spell damage to one enemy. It can also be taught to any unit by using an ability scroll.

Zapple appears as the {{Hero Smash}}'s side special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', in which it costs 18 {{MP}} to cast and hits twice: the first for 6% and the second for 14%. It is a quick electrical attack with good range and a disjointed hitbox, meaning it cannot be reflected or absorbed. Holding the special button down will turn [[Zap]] into Zapple, and holding the special button down for longer will turn this move into [[Kazap]].
